[wix-users] Changing the Product Name dynamically without rebuilding WiX Project

[Walter Dexter]

Can you open it up with Orca and edit it in each? I'm not quite clear on what you're trying to do.

We’ve successfully released the minor versions of the product using this WiX project as a MSI file, viz. “15.0.1”, “15.0.2” & “15.0.3”. All is well, so far. Also, I don’t foresee any code changes for the minor version release of any “15.0.x”.

Or is there any way to build an MSI which refers to some file [which can be changed when the version changes] during runtime to read the product name? Basically, I am trying to find out if there exists a mechanism which allows me to build once and change the product name on the fly for each minor version’s release.
